Me with Alistair

About Me

Married to Alistair for 17years, who puts up with my ever expanding craft area.
I have 1 lovely son and daughter in law, and various grandpets.
I am never seen without some kind of knitting going on and if not that, it's cardmaking.
I sing with the Inverness Choral Society, which I love.
I also love where I live, the Highlands of Scotland.
Oh, and I love Autumn, it's my favourite season with all the fantastic shades of brown and gold, the crispness of the air, and the cosy nights indoors.

The Skater! DT Card for CCAYR March Challenge

Good Afternoon to You All and I hope today finds you well and if not, here's a BIG HUG!Well, I am on days off now until next Thursday, yippee!!!!! it feels like a mini holiday and indeed it is as Alistair is treating me to a few days away, so we are off to a lovely country hotel down in the Borders. He tells me I'm worth it and deserves the break, all of which is very true of course, but joking apart, it will be lovely and I will pack my knitting and decoupage and relax. Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments on my last card, you are very kind.My card today is for March's CCAYR Challenge, and this time around it is making a card with a step design.

For some reason I found this one difficult to photograph, and the light wasn't great either.I bought a pack of toppers last year,unfortunately I don't remember the name of them, the background card and sentiment came along with them.MB Frosty CornersDiesire Tree DiesHobby Craft RibbonGems from my boxIcicles Stickles
